A day out to the Hokianga Harbour

It looked like it was going to be a fine Sunday so off I went to take some photographs at Opononi and Omapere, on the Hokianga Harbour. I ran into morning fog at Taheke and Waima, but it cleared before I got to the Hokianga Harbour. I spent a pleasant few hours taking these photographs before the weather started to close in again, with dark clouds rolling in from the north. It was, after all, early winter.
